Cymbal Pitch
I'm going to throw this out there with my usual newbie disclaimer:
Does anyone actually look for certain pitch(es) from their cymbals?
And if so, is there any general way to tell how pitch will vary with size?
I've been playing for less than 2 years but guitar for 20 and though I don't have perfect pitch, I hear the intervals between my cymbals. There is a fundamental and then there are distinct overtones (harmonics). The bell has its own pitch which contributes to the overtones even when you hit the bow...
So I'm wondering in my newbish way if I should look for 2 crashes that are different enough in pitch (character and volume is another story) so that I get a major/minor third, 4th or whatever. Am I overthinking this? (...probably)
Thanks for your input!
